Kid Cudi made news earlier this year when he performed on Saturday Night Live in a dress. That wasn’t a one-time occurrence for him, as he demonstrated yesterday by attending an award event in a different dress, one that was flashier than his prior ensemble.
Cudi, who was nominated for American Emerging Designer Of The Year, wore a custom bridal gown to the Council Of Fashion Designers Of America’s annual award event, the CFDA Awards, yesterday. Linnetz created the appearance, and People defines it as follows:“Cudi’s wedding-inspired look featured a full lace catsuit worn underneath a matching tea-length skirt and sleek white blazer. Instead of heels, he opted for embellished white sneakers to add some edge. Of course, the ensemble wouldn’t be complete without a statement veil.”
“I just sent him a text with a wedding dress and I was like, ‘Will you be my bride?'” Linnetz told the outlet. “I trust this man, so I was down to take it wherever his mind went,” Cudi added.
Following his appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he wore a dress, Cudi claimed that he was unconcerned by the response, adding, “I’ve never been someone who’s like caring about the blowback.” I couldn’t care less what other people think. When you’re doing this, you can’t.I knew it would piss some people off, but I love that. Because hip-hop is so weird about sh*t. I’ve already seen people making YouTube videos where they’re just strictly talking about me and this dress. Like grown men angry, grown Black men angry. ‘He’s doing something against men and masculinity, it’s a big thing going on…’ And I just be like, yo, this is so funny, this is crazy that I’ve stirred it up like this.
